As the artist has stated, in reference to his Kabuki with Uncle Ben series, "these new works project my wry sense of humor and expose social issues which are layered with political satire, complimented by my use of pop icon imagery." Our work features a stirring swirl of multi-cultural imagery, including the Quaker Oats Man, a Picasso portrait, a Kabuki actor, Japanese fan, and most prominently, an African Black Rhino.
